My favorite social media platform offers the option to suspend users accounts for a specified time if they themselves choose so. During that time Pictures and Video are still visible but not the comment section where all the fun happens.
Will I spend less time on the phone if I do that for a week?
Background:
I am trying to debug myself -as I always do- to find more joy and meaning in life.
I tend to be overwhelmed a lot and passive leisure time, like watching TV, playing single-player games and hanging around on social media, seems to be my goto resolution. I guess this is part of my mental-health problem.
I always tried to train myself to use a more productive response and had some success (e.g. regular exercise), but maintenance is constantly required and mentally expensive.
Resolution criteria:
YES if the cumulative screen time my tracking-app shows me is significantly less than that of last weeks market: https://manifold.markets/Schwabilismus/how-mich-time-will-i-spend-in-the-p?r=U2Nod2FiaWxpc211cw
NO if the number is roughly the same.
"Significantly" and "roughly" will be judged by me, based on my feelings about the outcome. I guess if I save an hour a day that would count as significant.
Market will resolve at 11 am UTC+1 on Monday 18th March, exactly one week after the number from the previous market is up.
Market criteria:
I will take part in this market at the beginning but will not buy or sell after my initial purchase.
I will regularly post screenshots of the tracking app, just like in last weeks market
Updates:
I reinstalled the app to reset the time
See comments for resolution. Tldl: it came out to about 47 hours as opposed yo 58 from last week. So I'd say that this resolves as YES

Sunsay. I think I am having a depressive phase again. You can see that I have a disrupted sleep from 3:45 onwards. I tried to fall back asleep but couldn't until around 5:45.
Catching up on missed sleep during daytime and going to the gym for half an hour made me feel better but that went away after a short while.
Anyways: tomorrow I will post the total screentime which will resolve this market.
@Schwabilismus this is an hour more than last week. So yeah, there seems to be a lot of fluctuation.
@Schwabilismus Sounds like one !
For some reason blockers don’t do a great job with me (at least subjectively evaluated), but I’m glad it works for you
@Mich subjectively they don't work for me neither. That's why I want to collect some "objective" data.
@Schwabilismus it says "8 days", here bc I started it counts this Monday and last weeks Monday as full days.
@Mich i bought 100 yes and am not going to buy or sell until i resolve the market. This is just for me to register a prediction.
